Can I ask.? Wht is softresetting? Resetting the game without turning off the game Howd ya do it? Hold A+B+L+R (I think) for DS games and Start+Select+A+B for 3rd Gen games Is itt safe?Completely What are reuirements to do this?None. Just have the buttons working (:

I believe I only had to soft reset once when I was trying to get a female Treecko from Steven. I was prepared to sit through about a half hour or so and was relieved when I saw the pink down arrow thing.

Yesterday, I spent 2 hours in pokemon leaf green trying to catch a pikachu in viridian forest with a beneficial nature. I almost threw my game against wall. Now I have to do it again, but with diglett..

I don't quite remember how many SRs it took for me to get shiny Dialga on Platinum, but I do know that it took months to accomplish at any rate. I'm not sure about how long it took for me to get shiny Palkia, not that it matters though, since my Luxray killed it. T_T I was at my grandmother's when it happened, so I couldn't excatly curse to oblivion. lolz

I need some motivation from my fellow serebii community. I have been trying to sr a shiny rayquaza and it has been several days and around 5000 resets give or take. What do some of yall do to keep up the motivation when it is taking so long? Thanks for any advice. *side note* if this is the wrong spot i apologize in advance.

my only shinies have been the following.
red gyarados in both crystal and soul silver.
a blue dugtrio in crystal
a shiny larvitar careful nature in soul silver when breeding for the perfect curse tyranitar
and lastly when ev training a shiny tentacool appeared, i couldnt run because he was shiny and how rare they are and all i had was a masterball.

As I'm still new to the whole soft-reset gimmick, I rarely use it. Thus, I soft-reseted I think once the whole time, and that was in the beginning of the game in Diamond. I'm kinda picky about the gender of my starter, so I soft-reseted about a good seven times (might've been more) before I got a female Turtwig.

It just gets on my nerves seeing posts like "I sr 10,000+ times for a shiny lugia or whatever." That to me translates to "I don't have a life," and yet people boast about it like its some sort of weird achievement... when I can rng any shiny in less than five minutes and get flawless IVs. My shiny isn't just gonna sit in a box -looks at my shiny flawless timid kyurem.
